Hundreds of Albanians rally in solidarity with Kumanovo

Hundreds of activists marched to the Macedonian Embassy in the capital city of Tirana to express their solidarity with ethnic Albanians in Macedonia, Sunday. Protesters held placards with slogans reading, “I am Kumanovo” and “Kumanovo, you are not alone.” The protest came as clashes between state security forces and anti-government groups in the northern Macedonian town of Kumanovo intensified over the weekend. Sporadic gunfire in the city was reported Saturday night, leaving 37 police officers injured.
